We have written before about the connection between diabetes and bariatric surgery. Here’s an update on that topics.
A recent story over at DiabetesHealth.com talks about the positive effects of bariatric weight-loss surgery on patients who have diabetes. This story focuses on gastric bypass surgery and cites a study of thousands of gastric bypass patients who, as a result of their surgery, had a reversal of their type 2 diabetes.
Story excerpt:
Researchers initially thought that weight loss caused the remission of type 2, but new findings are pointing to hormonal and metabolic changes caused by the surgery.
